Errors after system update

Post by Overcon »

Last night I applied some updates using APT. I believe one of them was a kernal update. I rebooted the system I use as the host and started getting a lot of errors and was unable to launch guests in VBOX. I uninstalled vbox and then did the update to Ubuntu 22.04. Then I did an apt-install and reinstalled vbox, but I am still getting the errors. I am not a guru on this, most of these don't mean much to me. I am hoping I can get some help resolving them. I have tried running the command listed, and resolved that issue, but I am still getting the same ones. Below is what shows in the VBOX manager. I have tried reinstalling virtualbox-dkms and ran the commands listed in the messages

This is what I get when I run the individual guests, secure boot is not enabled in my BIOS. I have run modprobe vboxdrv, I see no issues.

Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver is either not loaded or not set up correctly. Please reinstall virtualbox-dkms package and load the kernel module by executing

'modprobe vboxdrv'

as root.

If your system has EFI Secure Boot enabled you may also need to sign the kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt, vboxnetadp, vboxpci) before you can load them. Please see your Linux system's documentation for more information.
where: suplibOsInit what: 3 VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (-1908) - The support driver is not installed. On linux, open returned ENOENT.


I am running Lubuntu:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
Release: 22.04
Codename: jammy

Well, I seem to have resolved it, though I don't know what I did.

Gotta love those "don't-know-how-it's-fixed" problems! :lol:

Since a new host kernel was loaded, Virtualbox might have needed new kernel headers, see https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch02. ... nux-prereq.

Also, you might be running the Linux distro's fork of Virtualbox instead of Oracle's official Virtualbox from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads, especially if you had to update dkms, which official Virtualbox doesn't use, and the Linux distro ended up handling it.
